Kyle O'Quinn outplayed his contract, leaving the Knicks with a center dilemma

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- When Kyle O'Quinn came to training camp in September, he was the fourth center on the depth chart.

Over the next few weeks, he outplayed Willy Hernangomez and Joakim Noah to earn the backup center spot in Jeff Hornacek's rotation. And he kept that spot in the rotation by giving the Knicks consistent production all season.

Along the way, O'Quinn outperformed his contract for next season, leaving the Knicks with a difficult decision to make this summer.

O'Quinn, 28, is likely to opt out of his $4.
